Celebrating October with Boos and Brews

 

Reno’s wine walks are almost as legendary as the bar crawls, but for the casual beer drinker that just enjoys sampling a few of the newest brews, Reno has you covered too! With fall just kicking off and with the Halloween season upon us, it’ll be time to switch out those pale ales for stouts and porters. For some of the best breweries to visit this autumn, just keep scrolling!

 

1. Lead Dog Brewing – There’s nothing quite like an Oktoberfest brew to make it feel like the fall season is upon us. Lead Dog Brewing’s locations in Reno and Sparks will have you waxing your board in preparation for the fresh powder with just a few sips of their seasonal brews.
2. 10 Torr – For those who love a play on words, you’ll want to check out 10 Torr’s newly-released Hazemania Devil, a Double NE IPA made with hops straight from Tazmania. There’s also a coffee stout set to be released in October, and we’re sure it’ll be just as mouth-watering as the rest of their brews.
3. The Depot – If you crave anything pumpkin flavored as soon as fall is even mentioned, you’ll want to get more than a few tastes of the Pumpkin Brown Ale, The Pilgrim, at The Depot. With a pale lager, a smoked pilsner, and a wild ale to round out their seasonal brews, there’s something for every beer lover here!
4. Great Basin Brewing Company – As Nevada’s oldest brewery, Great Basin Brewing Company knows how to make the flavors of the season pop in a variety of their beers. The Reno and Sparks locations will have Oktoberfest and Deathwish APA that will pay homage to the fall flavors, so be sure to give them a whirl.
5. Pigeon Head Brewery – As Reno’s first brewery to think about brewing on a larger scale, there’s always a variety of tasty beers to try, but for something that has a little more of a fall vibe, try Red Rye Lager, the India Pale Lager, or their signature Oktoberfest brew.

 

There are a ton of places to visit in order to get into the fall spirit. Before the streets are overrun with zombies, witches, and ghosts for a spooky Halloween celebration, be sure to sip some of the seasonal specialties at the breweries around town.
